An Fl Paso dispatch of the 18th says in spite of military report to the contrary, only small fraction of the Apaches have really been captured by Gen. Miles. The re- mainGer of the band numbering about 100 warriors, are at present encamped in valley on the Rag ged range, about forty miles south west Of Lake Guzman. Their re- treat was discovered by Tom Me Graw and Vannes Smith, two Fl Paso prospectors, who were attack ed. Smith was instantly killed, but scouts report that McGraw died at the stake. On Monday last pred atory party of thirty-six Apaches descended Boca Grande toward Lake Guzman. They were seen by Mexican guards at the Ascension custom house in the Sabinal dis trict, and also by Mormons being in that vicinity. Further above, near James, this party encountered four prospectors and killed them by torture. The hands and feet of all were chopped off and one had his eye-ljds cut away. The miners at Blancha de Ia Plata are arming themselves for the purpose of de- scending upon the valley strong hold of the savages, and bloody battle may occur at any time. When it occurs it will be one of extermi- nation, as the Governors office at Chihuahua, is paying S100 apiece for all Apache scalps. A body of Mexican troops has already been ordered to the spot.

MT. Cox picked up a very curio

Mr. Cox picked up a very curious geological or archaeological speci- men on the river bank one day this week and exhibited it to all the scientific gentlemen in town. It bears a striking resemblance to a Japanese god worshipped by that that people in their days of barbar- ism and a mammoth image of which was borne in solemn process sion on feast days. This find may possess important archaeological bearing, going to prove that the prehistoric races inhabiting this country in the by-gone days, if not Japanese, at least possessed some of their customs and modes of worship. We do not know whether the finder is sufficiently self-Sacri- ficing to donate 1t, in the interest of science, to the Smithsonian h. stitute- or some other large museum where its true value would undoubt- edly be appreciated-San Marcial IN.

The following upon the Socorro grant is taken from Surveyor Gen cral Julian's article upon "Land Stealing in New Mexico" in the July number of the North Ameri- can Review: The Socorro grant in vites particular attention.

COlOneI C. C. Slaughter, III con
 versation with Dallas News repor-
 ter, recently remarked that even if
 the American Cattle Trust should
 prove answorable to what it's parti- sans and promoters claim for it, it would still fall short of covering the case of the southwestern ranch men, simply because it's place of business is too far off. What chiefly eats up the profits of the cattle of this section Is the railroads. One fourth of what Texas steer brings in Chicago has to be turned over to the railroads that carried him to market. The railroads practically own one-fourth of all the cattle in the State. The Trust, so far as he was informed, offered no remedy for this. The only way to beat the railroads out of their interest in this industry Is to proceed with the Texas packery at Houston-a pro- ject in which Colonel Slaughter secs new beauties every time he thinks about it. He does not want to be understood as occupying a hostile attitude toward the Trust, because, he saps, if it only helps a little it will do some good.
 In regard to the projected Texas packcry Col. Slaughter says that the cattlemen have been very slow to come to the front with their sub scrirtions, but he believes they will do so in time to get the establish ment in operation for next year. A movement is now on foot to get charter and organize the institu- ton, so as to give the enterprise new impetus, in the hope that the cattlcmen will more readily take hold of it nov, as many of the req sons why they have heretofore held aloof are no longer in existence When the subscription books were first opened the cattlemen were in bad shape and the prospects for of the drouth were bright, and stockmen were in doubt as to whether they would ever be in need of market. It has since rained copiously, the range is good, and the stockmen once more have their thoughts concentrated on the market problem, and lie thinks if the Texas packery were sprung on them afresh there would be no trou- ble in raising the amount required of the cattlemen.
 Colonel Slaughter is of the opin- ion that now is the time to invest in cattle because next year steers

are going to be steers. It is pret- ty we'll established fact that nearly all the cattle on the northern ranges died last winter, and only asmall number have gone up the trail this year. This will put on Texas and Indian Territory to supply the mar kets, and the limited supply will make prices better. Col.

 Life.
 Born of love and hope, of ec- stacy and pain, of agony and fear, of teaIs and joy-dowered with the wealth of two united hearts-held in happy arms, with lips upon life's drlfted font, blue veined and fair, where perfect peace finds perfect form-rocked by willing feet and wooed to shadowy shores of sleep by siren mother singing soft and low-looking with wonders wide and startled eyes at common things of life and day-taught by want and wish and contact with the things that touch the dimpled flesh of babes-lured by light and flame and charmed by eolor's wondrous robes-learning the use of hands and feet, and by the love of mimi cry beguiled to utter speeeh-re- leasing prisoned thoughts from grabbed and curious marks on soil- ed and tattered leaves-puzzling the brain with crooked numbers and their changing, tangled, worth and so through years of alterna- ting day and night, until the cap tive grows familiar with the chains and walls and limitations of life.
 And time runs on in sun. and shade, until the one of all the world is w0oed and won and all the lore of love is taught and learned. Again home is built with the fair chamber wherein faint dreams, like cool and shadowy wales, divide the billowed hours of love. Again the miracle of birth-the pain and joy, the kiss of welcome and the cradle song, drowning the drowsy prattlc of babe.
 And then the sense of obligation and of wrong-pity for those who toll and weep-tears for the impris- oned and despised-love for the generous dead, and in the heart the rapture of high resolve.
 And then ambition with it's love of pelf and place and power, long ing to put upon it's breast distinc- tion's worthless badge. Then keen CT thoughts of men, and eyes that see behind the smiling mask of craft-fattered no more by the ob- sequious cringe of gain and greed knowing the uselessness of hoarded gold and honor bought from those who charge the usurY of sclf-res- pect-of power that only bends a towards knees and forces from the lips of fear the lies of praise. Knowing at last the unstudied ges- ture of esteem, the reverent eyes made rich with honest thought, and holding high above all other things high as hopes great throbbing star above the darkness of the dead-the love of wife and child and friend.
 Then locks of gray, and growing love of other daps and half-remem- bered things-then holding wither- ed hands of those who first held his, while over dim and loving eyes death softly presses down the lids of rest.
 And so, locking in marriage vows his children's hands, and crossing others on the breasts of peace, with daughters babes upon his knees, the white hair mingling with the gold, he journeys on from day to day to that horizon where the dusk is waiting for the night-sitting by he holy hearth of home, as the last embers change from red to gray, he falls asleep within the arms of her he worshipped and adored, feeling lpon his pale lips love's last and noliest kiss.-R, c.
